The banner for the beastmen is still missing. I choose a shield design with the symbol of Khorne, which can be found on page 71 of Warhammer Armies 3e, as the basis for the banner. Who can decypher the text in chaos phonetic runes below the symbol…? ;-)
I glued one of the designs with tape on a dried out wet wipe, to cut the outer shape with knife and ruler. From a second printout, I cut out the symbol.
The symbol stencil I then placed on the wet wipe, and…
… with a piece of blister sponge stippled brown around the edges, then yellow over the whole area. This left me with:
The text below was painted freehand with a brush. The rest of the banner was then painted red. This gave some interesting color bleed, as I used the red quite wet, it drew along any brands of fabric that had not been fully saturated by brown or yellow before. I quite like that, as it makes the yellow look like painted on a red cloth, not fully covering the cloth. Once the red was dry, I had some back and forth between the three colors, until I was satisfied with the result. The yellow I dotted over the symbol area, to get a similar mottled effect as on the beastmen skin, although not as pronounced.
Once the top of the banner was glued onto the banner pole, I used tape tobend the banner into some wrinkles, to not just have it hanging down flat, and drenched it in modge podge.
This was the result when the modge podge was fully dry.
I then cut the banner to length, fraying the bottom end, before touching it a couple of times with a lighter.
Please note the safety measure in form of a bowl of water. Didn't want the whole mini to catch fire…
I used the same tones as on the minis themselves (yellow, brown and red), but different specific colors. The banner is of a different material than for example the shields, so I wanted it to look slightly different.
